Passionate and Nimble: Team Magic Bus and Buupass, 10 years later

Sonia Kabra ’16 and Wyclife Omondi ’17 are executives and co-founders of Buupass, a growing transportation technology company connecting people and goods across Africa. Their story is one of persistence, adaptation and the enduring impact of ideas first explored over long conversations in Earlham’s cafeteria.
